Popis: Both computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) may be useful in addition to echocardiography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to study cardiac tumors. CT scan may be used as an alternative imaging modality in patients who cannot undergo MR because it is contraindicated or in patients already examined with other noninvasive methods without obtaining adequate images. High-speed equipments with electrocardiographic (ECG) gating can provide images with resolution
